Edmonton Gala Raises Funds to Support Students

Edmonton, AB – MaKami College Education Foundation is pleased to announce its recent Guiding Lights Gala raised significant donations towards removing barriers to education for students in need.

The gala was held on Saturday, May 16 and the Fairmont Hotel MacDonald in Edmonton, Alberta. Funds raised will support students facing challenges such as financial hardship, unexpected life circumstances and limited access to essential resources. Donations will be used for needs-based assistance, emergency supports and services that help students remain enrolled and focused on their education at MaKami College.

A Message from the Foundation's Founder

"We want to thank you to all the sponsors and guests that joined us last weekend at our first annual gala," said Marija Pavkovic-Tovissi, founder of the Foundation. "Through your generosity, the MaKami College Education Foundation will have a direct input on MaKami College students when they need it most, helping them continue toward meaningful careers."

Bringing the Community Together for Student Success

The gala brought together donors, alumni and community partners who share MaKami College Education Foundation's commitment to student success and inclusive education. By investing in wrap-around supports, the foundation continues to address non-academic barriers that can stand in the way of long-term success.

"Support like this can be the difference between a student having to pause their education or being able to move forward with confidence," said Pavkovic-Tovissi. "We are grateful to everyone who contributed to this important cause."
